Acclaimed, when it first appeared, as a seminal work - a groundbreaking book that was both informative and highly readable - Translators through History is being released in a new edition, substantially revised and expanded by Judith Woodsworth. Translators have played a key role in intellectual exchange through the ages and across borders. This account of how they have contributed to the development of languages, the emergence of literatures, the dissemination of knowledge and the spread of values tells the story of world culture itself.Content has been updated, new element
